What do you think about individuals with HIV/AIDS who try to justify being sexually active


What do you think about individuals with HIV/AIDS who try to justify being sexually active?
I hear it time and again..."Its part of my 'quality of life' and I have the right to have sex if I use precautions." I think these 'precautions' they are reffering to are not always fool proof and they are putting people at risk. It just seems to me like having sex for your 'quality of life' should be the last thing on your mind when you are dealing with something that is going to kill you and possibly kill other people! Isn't it saving a lot of grief and pain if they just jerk off? Miata...do you have AIDS. Is that what this is all about? If not...then go ahead, have sex with one of your friends for 20-some years and contract it because, oh, whats the harm!! Having AIDS is like having the cold virus, huh? Its people like you who I actually think PROMOTE STD'S. Your a jerk.

Well the other person involved is taking the risk by having sex with them in the first place.
3 :
i think if the person they are sexually active with is AWARE of their disease and consents than who are we to criticize?
4 :
As long as they tell people what they have, I am ok with it. I do not think I could do anything, I am not infected. I am assuming they cleared with their doctor. I have a feeling that we will reach the point ( we may already be there) where HIV infected people will be like Herpes infected are today. The virus will be controlled and you will see boards of HIV infected people trying to meet other infected to hook up.

There are so many people with std's these days, and you see those commercials that a huge percent of people with HIV don't even know they have it. This is so ridiculous that myself, a sexually inactive person has to worry about getting HIV. (I know its harder to get without having sex, but it is possible.) People who don't protect themselves and get tested are getting everyone else. I think it should be mandatory to get tested every couple years otherwise I fear the numbers with std's will be out of control as they are nearing already.

If they are up front with their soon to be sex partner about their disease, then i think its between both of them honestly
7 :
in my opnion you do not have to make sex from the base befor to make sex you and you freind havt to go to the doctor to check up befor to make sex this is my advice

Well if thats the case you should also be including those with herpes since it never goes away. I think as long as the person is honest with their partner and they take the right precautions there shouldn't be any cause for alarm.
9 :
HIV/AIDS positive individual can be prosecuted criminally for engaging in sexual activity without the knowledge of their sexual partner. However if someone voluntarily has intercourse with them while knowing beforehand i have nothing to say about that except that is a totally stupid idea. If someone with hiv/aids wants to have sex they probably should find a support group and meet someone their who also has problems and not selfishly coerce innocent individuals into emotional entanglement so they can prey upon them. they should go rub off a batch and try to reflect upon their life and not be so shallow.

Why shouldn't people with HIV/AIDS be allowed to have sex? As long as they're up front about it and the other person knows the risks and decides to sleep with them, who the hell is to tell them that's wrong? Yes, a large percentage of the people that have AIDS don't know they have it.. but if you're going to sleep with someone with out using protection when you first meet them.. then you're just as bad. You're taking a risk everytime, too. You get what you deserve.

You Said: "dealing with something that is going to kill you and possibly kill other people!" You might be very mistaken.. ( this does not mean one should not disclose or have unsafe sex). There are a huge # of HIV positives that are not dieing or getting sick from just registering antibodies on a HIV test. These tests do not test for nor detect actual virus of any sort. Please remember that. This is the way it is and always has been. These people who take care of themselves and never consume highly toxic drugs pushed by the AIDS establishment, will have a normal life expectancy. I know more than just a few of these people personally for more than 20 years now! When you couple these facts with the following scientific study that says HIV is NOT SEXUALY TRANSMITTED... one can only make the sensible and logical conclusion that we are not dealing with a virus that causes disease and death! The "Padian Study" was the longest and largest epidemiological study of heterosexual tranmission of HIV (1986-1996); -For 10 years, it followed 175 discordant couples, who had a lotta sex. "Discordant" means for each couple, 1 person was HIV+, and one was not. -After 10 years, the scientists found NO seroconversions. -The couples who used condoms, did not transmit the virus -The couples who failed to use condoms, did not transmit the virus -The couples that exclusively engaged in vaginal intercourse did not transmit the virus; -In fact, 39% of the couple engaged in anal sex -- they too did not transmit the virus. This is the study: Padian NS, Shiboski SC, Glass SO, Vittinghoff E. Heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in northern California: results from a ten-year study. American Journal of Epidemiology 1997;146:350-357. -So, if you're gonna have sex with an HIV+ person, "You're gonna get the virus, get AIDS and die," is a VERY STUPID AND FALSE ASSUMPTION
